Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

CPPWMT3021A - Cover waste

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Organise for covering activities.

  1. Job sheet is reviewed to identify job requirements.
  2. Plant and associated equipment are selected for job in order to maximise efficiency and effectiveness of waste covering.
  3. Other tools and materials required to meet work requirements are identified and obtained.
  4. Suitable cover material is organised to ensure adequate stockpile is available on site for waste covering activities.
  5. Emergency and personal protective equipment (PPE) is selected and fitted according to job requirements, organisational requirements and legislation and codes.
  6. Processes and operator licence are checked to ensure operator is qualified to conduct operations, according to organisational requirements and legislation.
  7. Landfill cell is assessed to determine waste cover requirements.
  8. Potential hazards and risks of job requirements are identified and managed according to organisational requirements, and occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations and other legislation and codes.
  9. Safety barriers and signage are erected at work sites, according to organisational requirements and legislation, to ensure safety of surrounding personnel and the public.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of practical demonstration in the workplace or in a simulated environment.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit.

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to:

determine waste cover requirements

organise stockpile of waste cover material

identify potential hazards and risks to waste covering

observe OHS requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context. It is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards’ requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

work plans and approved specifications

forms and procedures manuals.

Method of assessment

Covering waste must comply with industry expectations in the particular client environment. If the environment is narrowly defined or is not representative of industry needs, it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies to assess competency in the covering of waste.

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Guidance information for assessment

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function, for example:

CPPCMN3001B Participate in environmentally sustainable work practices

CPPCMN3003A Contribute to workplace safety arrangements

CPPWMT3020A Place and compact waste.
